Conservation and Climate Awesome Foundation Chapter

Funds awesome ideas focused on nature conservation and climate change.

Each chapter of the Awesome Foundation is volunteer-run and self-funded by a group of people who pool their money to form micro-grants that fund meaningful projects. This chapter is focused on nature conservation and climate change. We genuinely want to find promising projects and innovations that may be overlooked by the big, cumbersome funding organizations. If you are an individual or small team, with an awesome idea that will help the environment, you are encouraged to apply.

The Foundation wants to support:
- Creative, INNOVATIVE and impactful projects having to do with wildlife conservation, habitat protection, climate change, ecotourism or environmental communication. WE ARE LOOKING FOR IDEAS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN DONE BEFORE OR ARE BEING DONE IN A UNIQUE WAY. We get hundreds of tree planting, upcycling, plastic clean up, beekeeping and community garden project applications, so unless it's innovative, your project is unlikely to be funded.
- Projects that have a "tipping point" of $1000 or less where our grant will be the difference between it not happening and making dreams come true.
- Ideas that will be a catalyst to create something bigger. We like ideas that will ignite inspiration beyond your community. (What idea has made you think, “Someone should do that”? Why not you?).
- Ideas that clearly explain where the money will be spent. The more details the better.
- Stories and ideas that capture our imaginations and grab our hearts.
- Projects and ideas that are close to being implemented (rather than a year from now).
- Applicants must have, or be able to get, a PayPal, Wise, or Venmo account to receive funds if they win a micro grant.
